Musée du cloître de Tulle

The Tulle Cloister Museum occupies a 13th-century Gothic abbey connected to Notre-Dame Cathedral, featuring preserved medieval architecture with pointed arches and stone columns.

The religious complex received historical monument status in 1862, and later transformed into a municipal museum in 1905, displaying artifacts from the region.

The museum collections included exhibits ranging from prehistoric findings to modern art, with specific sections dedicated to Tulle lace and local weaponry manufacturing.

The museum closed in January 2022 to prepare for its transformation into the City of Accordion and Heritage, scheduled to open in April 2024.

The chapter house contains 14th-century wall paintings depicting the Last Supper and Christ's entry into Jerusalem against gothic architectural elements.
